ADHD and Social Anxiety w/ Thomas E. Brown, PhD
Social anxiety: a fear of interacting with others.
ADHD: an issue with attention or impulse control.
From Dr. Brown:
"Social Anxiety is the experience of intense and persistent fears that someone might recognize and disclose one's embarrassing actions, thoughts or wishes to others. It affects about 12-14% of adults in the US.
"Social anxiety often causes elevated rates of school dropout or unemployment, having fewer close friendships, and increased likelihood of remaining single or being divorced.
"Despite the stress it causes, only half of those affected by social anxiety ever seek treatment for it, and most of those who do seek help for it do so only after 15 or more years of suffering from the problem. Often they are too embarrassed or ashamed to tell family or others, or even their doctors.
"Yet social anxiety can be effectively treated with medication and psychotherapy."
